THE KENTUCKY Observation-Disclosures
battle occurred in Rowan county, KY,
last Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. In
this fight Craig Tolliver, the desperate
who has lorded over that section, was kill
ostensibly led by DR.. Logan, whose two
sons were murdered in cold blood by Toll
liver men about two weeks ago, and who
was in Jail in Lexington at the time of the
tragedy, had organized a band Of regula-
tors for the purpose of Kidding the county
of the desperadOes. Rumors of this band
being in the neighborhood of Morehead
were frequent. Wednesday morning, alta
little after 8 o'clock, the regulators, being
concealed in close proximity of Morehead,
opened fire on Tolliver and some of his
gang, who were on the streets. Tolliver
was killed in the engagement, and the
fight assumed a bushwhacking character,
the men hiding behind houses and trees
and shooting at any one that could be seen.
Reports differ as to the number killed, one
placing the number at five, including Toll
liver; while another stated that Craig
Tolliver, two of his brothers and thirteen
others had been killed.
A later dispatch corroborates the story
of the killing of the three Tollivers and
Harvey Cooper. Sheriff Hogg's posse had
warrants for the arrest of the men, and
they were supplied with arms and am
munition by Governor Knott. F. zee was
only resorted to after the desperaaoes had
! refused to submit to arrest. Bud and Jay
Tolliver were cousins, not brothers of
Craig Tolliver. Andy Tolliver, another Of
Craig's cousins, escaped. He was slightly
wounded.
